Philips TUV 8W FAM/10X25BOX TL Mini

TUV TL Mini lamps are slim double-ended UVC (germicidal) lamps used in
residential water and air disinfection units. The small 16 mm diameter of the
lamp allows for a small system design and design flexibility. TUV TL Mini
lamps offer almost constant UV output over their complete lifetime, for
maximum security of disinfection and high system efficacy.

Benefits
● Security of effective disinfection over the useful lifetime of the lamp
● Good environmental choice because of lowest amount of mercury
● High system efficacy because it is not required to over-design the
purification system to maintain effectiveness of disinfection

Features

What is the efficiency of UV sterilisation? Does it work against viruses
and bacteria?

As a microbiologist, I hear these questions frequently, especially when people consider how
dirty their cell phone gets. As more UV sterilisation products are introduced to the market,
you may wonder if they are worthwhile. So, let's dig in!
UV light has been utilised for sterilisation And disinfection since the middle of the twentieth
century. With technological advancements, particularly in UV bulbs, its dependable long
lifespan (thousands of hours) and smaller size (e.g. UV LED vs. traditional UV bulbs) have
expanded its applications. It is used to disinfect water, air, fruits, vegetables, surgical
instruments, tablet computers, toys, and an assortment of other surfaces
Not all varieties of UV are effective for UV sterilisation. What does this entail? Ultraviolet
(UV) refers to a range of electromagnetic waves with shorter wavelengths (higher frequency
and energy) than violet visible light. UV is separated into three varieties with decreasing
wavelengths and increasing energy.
